INTRODUCTORY  NOTE. 

This  list  of  text  and  reference  books  relating-  to  nursing  and  its  allied 
•subjects  has  been  ])repared  for  tlie  purpose  of  assisting  instructors  in 
-electing  books  for  students  and  for  the  training  school  library.  A  num- 
ber of  the  books  listed,  with  annotations,  have,  by  permission,  been  taken 
from  a  list  compiled  by  the  Department  of  Nursing  and  Health,  Teachers 
College,  New  York.  Others  have  been  annotated  by  specialists  on  the 
different  subjects.  The  more  recent  nursing  books  are  listed  and 
annotated,  making  the  li>t,  as  nearly  as  ])ossible,  up  to  date.  A  list  of 
lepresentative  jieriodicals  is  appended  for  readers  who  desire  to  keep 
in  touch  with  current  literature  by  means  of  book  reviews  outlined  in 
these  periodical-.  \\'hile  introduced  as  an  aid  in  selecting  texts  and 
books  for  nurses'  libraries,  it  is  hoped  this  bulletin  will  be  of  service  to 
graduate  nurses,  special  workers,  and  also  to  nursing  organizations. 


Annotated  List  of  Text  and  Reference  Books 
for  Training:  Schools  for  Nurses. 

I.     ANATOMY,  PHYSIOLOGY  AND  HISTOLOGY. 

1.     Textbooks   in  Anatomy  and  Physiology. 

KiMBER,  Diana  C.  (Revised  by  Gray,  CaroliniC  E.)     Textbook  of  Anatomy  and 
Physiology  for  Nurses.     Macmillan,  3d  cd.,  1910.     $2.50. 

Miss  Kimber's  book  is  recognized  as  a  standard  textbook  for  use  in  training 
schools  for  nurses.  .Written  by  a  nurse  and  recently  revised  by  a  teacher 
of  nurses,  it  seems  to  be  more  nearly  adapted  to  the  special  needs  of  the 
training  school  than  any  other  book  at  present  available. 

Lewis,  LeRoy.     Anatomy  and   Physiology   for   Nurses.     Saunders,  2d  cd.,   1910. 
344  pp.     $1.75. 

This  text,  like  the  first  mentioned  one,  suggests  the  general  type  of  books 
prepared  for  the  use  of  medical  students.  While  aiming  to  eliminate  unneces- 
sary material,  there  still  remain  lists  of  Latin  terms  and  technical  phrases 
which  are  of  no  special  value  to  nurses. 

Pope,  Amy   E.     Anatomy   and    Physiology.     Putnam's    Sons,    1913,  2d   ed.,    1916. 
$1.75. 

The  raison  d'etre  for  the  Anatomy  and  Physiology  was  to  provide  a 
textbook  containing  more  description  of  essential  physiological  processes, 
though  no  larger  than  the  books  of  anatomy  in  general  use.  To  accomplish 
this,  some  details  of  anatomy  usually  included  in  nurses'  textbooks,  though 
unimportant  for  nurses  to  know,  were  omitted,  the  space  thus  gained  being 
utilized  for  information  of  greater  importance  to  those  for  whom  the  book 
was  intended. 

2.     Elementary   Textbooks  in  Physiology  and  General  Biology. 

BiGEEOw,  Maurice  A.  and  Anna  N.  Applied  Biology.  Macmillan,  1911.  $1.35. 
This  book  is  intended  as  a  textbook  and  laboratory  guide  in  high  school 
botany,  zoology  and  human  biology.  Such  a  comprehensive  view  of  the 
science  of  life  should  of  course  precede  the  more  specialized  study  of  human 
anatomy  and  physiology,  but  where  this  is  impossible  the  regular  textbook 
could  be  supplemented  by  readings  and  parallel  study  in  such  a  book  as  this  to 
get  the  broad  biolpgical  point  of  view.  The  chapter  on  "Evolution  and 
Heredity"  and  the  sections  dealing  with  reproduction  and  embryology  will  be 
of  very  particular  interest  and  value  to  nurses,  as  will  also  the  chapter  on 
spore-plants,  which  deals  with  molds,  yeasts  and  bacteria. 

ITouGH,  T.   LI.,  and   Sedgwick,   Wm.   T.     The   Human   Mechanism.     Ginn,    1908, 
564  pp.    $2.00. 

An  excellent  and  very  reliable  textbook  of  high  school  or  college  grade. 
It  could  precede  the  ordinary  textbooks  on  anatomy  and  physiology  with 
advantage  or  could  be  used  as  a  supplementary  text  with  such  a  book  as 
Kimber.  The  section  devoted  to  personal  and  public  hygiene  and  sanitation 
is  sound  and  fairly  comprehensive  and  would  serve  excellently  as  a  basis  for 
the  preliminary  work  in  bacteriology  and  hygiene  given  in  training  schools. 


6  TEXT   AND   REFERENCE   BOOKS.

are  of  moment  to  us,  because  in  caring  for  the  infant,  we  are  improving  the 
child,  and  the  child  of  today  is  the  parent  of  the  next  generation.  Bound  up 
with  the  interests  of  the  infant  are  those  of  the  parent,  and  the  state  has  an 
interest  in  both."  It  gives  special  attention  to  the  claims  of  the  illegitimate
